Marmot Dena Jacket (2012)

Marmot Wave IV (2012)

£100.00

The Marmot Wave IV is a well-proven sleeping bag that manages to keep campers warm in winter for £100. To hit this price the bag has not been made to be as warm as others in our test, so it only has a temperature rating of -10 deg C. The benefit of shaving a little off the temperature rating is ...

Marmot Baffin Half-Zip (2012)

£110.00

This is a kind of hybrid style of jacket that offers more warmth than a fleece with a bit of extra waterproofing thrown in. As a pullover style it won’t be to everyone’s taste, and it isn’t the easiest to take off in a hurry. But the thinking is that you shouldn’t need to take it off so often because ...

Marmot Midweight Zip Neck IS (2012)

£45.00

A midweight top that seems best-suited to slightly cooler conditions. The inside of the fabric is lined with a waffle-effect finish to the Polartec Power Dry fabric, which not only helps trap a bit of heat but also helps draw moisture up and away from the skin. The fabric also has a decent amount of built-in stretch that gives it ...

Marmot Work Glove (2012)

£80.00

The Marmot Work Glove is a well-established piece of kit that has been used by Glenmore Lodge instructors when battling against Cairngorm storms. It’s also a pair of gloves that I’ve worn since 2009 and I’ve found them to be ideal for when the foul weather drives in. It is very much a professional workhorse design with a tough leather ...

Marmot Alpinist 2011

£400.00

At £400 the Marmot Alpinist is definitely a considered purchase, as it has the highest price tag of those jackets featured, but if you can ignore the price for a moment, then there are some good features. For starters, although it is made from Gore-Tex Pro Shell like many others, it uses what appears to be a more durable version, ...

Marmot Spire 2011

£250.00

The Marmot Spire is a very well-featured jacket that is suitable for year-round mountain walking.

Marmot Super Mica Jacket 2011

£160.00

The Marmot Super Mica is a beefed-up version of the original Mica, and it benefits from Duralite Zonal reinforcement at the shoulders and hips, which is a particularly neat solution for those who not only want lightweight gear, but also lightweight gear that’s durable. Lightweight fabrics by their very nature aren’t quite as rugged as heavier ones, so to ensure ...

Marmot Crystalline

£170.00

The Crystalline is one of the lightest jackets ou there, but for £170, does it do what it’s designed to do? The fabric feels extremely flimsy, but it is waterproof; and it survived a few tough days in the hills with no sign of tearing. It’s also soft, doesn’t rustle badly when you walk, and is surprisingly breathable, too. The ...

Marmot Wave III 2011

A really good product for the price, the Marmot Wave III is pretty much all you could want from a 3-season synthetic sleeping bag. It’s a reasonable weight and the cut manages a clever balance between spacious comfort and snug warmth.

Marmot Ama Dablam 2011

£170.00

The Marmot Ama Dablam is a lighter-weight duvet than those at a lower price but you still get a hood and a reasonable amount of insulation.

Marmot Leadville

£120.00

This has ‘pub jacket’ written all over it, but the Leadville is much more than that. Tidy looks are backed up by Gore Windstopper fabric – used throughout most of the jacket to maintain core temperature whilst blocking out the breeze extremely effectively. Mesh-lined pockets help with venting on top of the underarm stretch panelling. Water repellence is among the ...

It is the low weight and small packed size of the Marmot Precip that set it apart from most jackets, and this is ideal if the parents end up carrying it.

Marmot Mica

£100.00

The Mica sacrifices comfort and performance for a light weight and small pack-down size – even with a cavernous hood and Velcro adjustment on the cuffs. The nylon ripstop fabric kept rain out but wasn’t the most breathable, and is also fairly flimsy. It has a good DWR, though, and this prevented any major wetting out even in prolonged rain. ...

Lightweight trousers cut from a waterproof and breathable fabric that packs down well when not in use. Well-featured, including a selection of pockets and full-length zips that actually make it quite easy to access your normal trouser pockets. They definitely kept the rain out, even in some quite horrible weather, but they didn’t prove quite as breathable as some. They ...

Marmot Nano 2009

As the name suggests the Marmot Nano multi-activity jacket is very light at just 240g (size L), and it packs down very small too. In part this is down to the material, Gore-Tex Paclite, which is designed to be packable and lightweight. But equally this is a lighter version of that fabric than some jackets use. Also superfluous features are ...
